I am creating...embroidered felt purses and coasters for Christmas presents; gingerbread house with J later this week

I am going...to the annual Moms Christmas Tea tomorrow night

I am reading..."The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien to J at bedtime every night;"The Spontaneous Spread of Home-Discipleship Christianity" by Henry Reyenga Jr.

I am hoping...to lose 10 pounds by Christmas

I am hearing...singing coming from the girls' bedroom

Around the house...I've taken down the fall decorations, but haven't put up anything for Christmas yet - I am behind, I know! There is laundry that needs to be folded, dishes that need to be washed, floors that need to be vacuumed, books and papers that need to be organized.. I'm not feeling very festive

One of my favorite things...a mug of hot spiced cider on a cold and blustery day

A few plans for the rest of the week:Amanda's basketball game;making cookies for the Christmas Tea;making a gingerbread house with Jfor the Lighthouse Christmas Fair and Gingerbread House Contest on Saturday; decorating the house for Christmas;nursing those with bad colds and trying not to get sick myself!

About Me

I am a Christian wife and homeschool mom of 5, living near Raleigh, North Carolina. I've been married to my best friend for 35 years. All of my children have graduated from our homeschool, and the youngest will soon leave for college, making me an "empty nester" after 32 years of mommyhood and 23 years of homeschooling. I enjoy spending time with my family, visiting with friends, baking cupcakes, being creative, reading, snuggling babies, mentoring, writing, and encouraging others in their homeschooling journey.
